Leave your thoughts about Breakfast of Champions.
| Dallas ObserverGregory WeinkaufAn adaptation that can rightfully be called brilliant. |
| Film.comRobert HortonBreakfast of Champions is a weirdly stillborn experience. |
| Mr. ShowbizMichael AtkinsonHas some fine individual moments but fails to cohere into a grander, more substantial statement on the themes it aspires to tackle. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe movie looks and feels like a frantic, live-action psychedelic cartoon. |
| Mixed ReviewsGabriel ShanksBreakfast of Champions is a feast for the imagination, not the screen. |
| Sight and SoundEdward LawrensonStructurally, the film is a mess: on screen, the novel's digressive, anecdotal narrative seems directionless and muddled. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThis starry ensemble dazzles, but the film never comes fully alive until its climactic 20 minutes, which are deeply moving. |

| New York PostJonathan ForemanAmong the year's biggest disappointments. |
| The Moving Picture ShowJoe LeydonA ghastly misfire that brings out the self-indulgent worst in everyone involved. |
